26 pages. Plus black and white photographic plates and large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 15 x 15 inches (38 x 38cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Accompanied by a spectacular descriptive colour map, this is Philby's first-hand expedition report on early explorations into unknown regions of Arabia, under the auspices and patronage of His Majesty `Abdul `Aziz ibn Sa`ud, King of the Hejaz and Nejd and its Dependencies. Philby continues where Bertram Thomas left off - "ninety days of wanderings across Arabia by way of the Rub'al Khali" in this riveting narrative. Key to Philby's compelling story telling is his attention to detail: we learn of the breed of camels employed for the gruelling expedition - Umaniya - best of all strains; of the characters of the eighteen strong party - their fear and reluctance to navigate the Empty Quarter and the presence of evil omen; descriptions of adherence to the fast of Ramadhan, condemning the party to thirty hungry days with nothing to eat or drink between daybreak and sunset. Philby's central objective lay in as complete an observation as possible of the Jafura desert, an extensive northward continuation of the sands of the Great South Desert reaching from the line Jaub-Jabrin to within a few miles of the Hasa oasis and skirted on the east by the esturay-like depressions known as Jiban. Features Anbak, settlement of antiquity and small oasis; Qasr ibn Dahbash, Jabrin District; Dharbun ridge; arrival at Wabar; the sand slopes of Naifa; Hadhat al Hawaya and many more locations. Includes fascinating discussion of the Murra tribes people; the search for Maqainama or Magan; the wells of Bir Fadhil; the discovery of an unexpected volcano and craters at Wabar, mythical site of an ancient civilization and much more.
